Thursdays on First & 3rd Partner Series with Kraus-Anderson

Kraus-Anderson has been shaping the Rochester landscape for 50+ years. They built landmarks such as the Rochester International Airport, Miracle Mile Shopping Center, University Square, Centerplace, and 318 Commons. For Kraus-Anderson, Thursdays on First & 3rd was a perfect partner and a great location for a client and business event. Kraus-Anderson is the first blog in our partnership series for Thursdays on First & 3rd. In the following weeks, we will be highlighting all of the partners that make this event possible. Thursdays on First &Third would not be possible without the support of businesses in the Rochester community. Thanks to Kraus-Anderson and our numerous other partners, we bring musicians, artists, craftspeople, and restaurateurs together, uniting residents and visitors alike.

We take pride in truly living our core purpose of building enduring relationships and strong communities. Our staff of 50+ construction professionals live, work and play in their local communities, and we give time and resources to many deserving organizations.
